42PFL7406K-02 - No 1920 ◊ 1080 on HDMI-Connection via Computer.

i have got an 42PFL7406K-02. Latest Firmware. Via HDMI i have connected my Macbook Air to the Philips. But the max. Resolution is shown as 1600 x 900 and not 1920 ◊ 1080.

I have tested the HDMI-Cable and the macbook on an other TV (different brand). On that modell i have got the Full-HD-resolution in 1920 ◊ 1080. Anything is ok!

What can i do to get Full-HD on my Philips?

I have tryed to switch to 'PC-Modus and any other configuration in the menus. Of course, the image is expanded to the full Screen. But the native resolution is still 1600 x 900. Accordingly the display quality is not as good as it should be.

You can't clone your desktop, because, like this you only have desktop resolution (PC Lcd resolution, different from Tv). You must choose Hdmi only and change resolution for TV, 1080i it is not full HD, do you have a recent Tv?

I know... I didnt clone the desktop of my mac. The resolution of the mac is 1400 x 900. If i clone/synchronize it, it would be the same on the TV. I do know this. But the HDMI/Mini-Display-Port works with the connected TV as an extended Display on his own settings. So 1600 x 900 were possible on the Philips. On an other TV (different brand) i have got 1900 x 1080. Unfortunately this does not work yet with the Philips-TV.

Firmware-Problem of the TV?

I try it on two other Devices. Anything ok. Only the Philips will not work on 1900 x 1080...

Hi Patco,
The standard procedure when it comes to the indication light in front, is to test the power supply on in the TV. The easiest way to do this is to leave the TV without power for a while...
